Chat date: Tuesday 8th July

Now that the summer months are upon us it's time to get cracking on what the British do best - the impromptu picnic party. The most frustrating thing about planning for a picnic is to spend hours preparing your favourite snacks only to see your quiche go soggy and your sandwiches squashed.

To add a touch of gourmet to your hamper, TV chef Simon Rimmer is in our studio courtesy of Mateus Rosé to share his favourite picnic recipes, the dos and don'ts of alfresco dining and most importantly, which summer wines will tickle your guests' fancy.
